Not that you're wrong...but (speaking from second-hand experience: my ex was [0] a contractor at FB) this sort of thing is a fabulous way to lose your job. The company will do whatever it has to do to bring the hammer down on any nails that stick out, and they've got enough legal and financial resources to get away with it.

You are 100% correct. Unfortunately, that attitude is needed because it also serves as an early-warning fuse for that relationship; the in-built assumption in my advice is the contractor has the freedom to leave and contract with someone else. If the employer tries to extract work from you without compensation, they are abusing the contractor relationship and giving a clear signal that it may be time to take one's labor elsewhere.
